The purpose of this book is to seek answers to such questions in the case of the Swedes during the period of their great migration, between roughly 1840 and 1940." -- Pref.
The Oxford Handbook of the Global Stage Musical
In response to the rapid growth of musical theatre as a global phenomenon, The Oxford Handbook of the Global Stage Musical offers new scholarly approaches to issues arising from these new international markets.
